Time, constant and always ticking has a funny way of distorting itself in our memoriesl. We say our kids grow up too fast or that the Dot Com bubble seems like ages ago, yet there are people alive in America today who grew up without planes or cars, let alone satellite, microwaves, and iPods. The [...]

My appetite for something extraordinary makes my stomach groan like an engine trying to turn over. Obviously I haven’t been putting the right kind of fuel in my engine. It sits stalled out in a pasture with the grasses slowly growing and creeping. The cranial engine sits rusting, grasses slowly reclaiming it, never to run [...]

Every now and then you have a ride that you’ll remember for a while. A ride when the weather, the bike, the stamina, and the setting all kick some serious ass. My DIY projects were thwarted by faulty plumbing parts. The 80 degree partly cloudy weather also curb stomped my home improvement ambition. A few [...]

I got owned last night. My closet dropped me like a call on an AT&T cellie. Apparently I still put on my sweats like a 5 year old. I set them on the ground, put each foot in, grab the waist band. Then I squat down building tension. In a sudden move I burst [...]

I’d take Michael Keaton making inappropriate advances to ladies any day over this guy on my doorstep.

I try not to let things irritate me but weathermen seem to bypass my irritation barriers and crush my mainframe with a bombardment of bunker busters. Weathermen are like a 98 Degrees cd shoved up the tailpipe of a Civic … overplayed and exhausting. Perhaps it’s the fault of their producers… maybe I shouldn’t [...]
Craigslist Dealin’

In my time I’ve bought and sold a few things via Craigslist. There’s no doubt it’s the best way to buy and sell used goods and…er services. For the record I’ve never bought or sold “services” off Craigslist. Back to the goods. With going to a strangers house or having them come to yours, [...]
PBR …. Post Bike Ride
Posted: May 19, 2009 in RandomTags: Beer, bike, couch, facts, Meunster, yahtzee
As the weather turns warmer nothing quenches my thirst like a PBR, Pabst Blue Ribbon for the layman. I’ll confess in the winter I like beers darker than a crawlspace during an eclipse, but PBR dominates my fridge arsenal when the mercury rises. Aside from tasting like liquid nirvana when it hits your lips on [...]
Hanging out

In the words of Def Leppard “Let’s Get The Rock Outta Here!!” That’s exactly what was running through my mind as I pitched a straight flush into a hat across my living room. Why should I sit here when I can climb a rock wall in my basement. And the idea was born to create a [...]
I think most everyone is familiar with Redbox. They are stand alone dvd rental units placed at McDonald’s and grocery stores. The concept involves using a touch screen to select your movie, swiping your credit card, and the dvd is dispensed. Dvd movies can also be returned to any Redbox unit. Sounds easy enough, right?

In anticipation of ski season I am sitting on the couch and thinking about exercices I should be doing to get ready to rip the crud. Here’s an example of an easy exercise to do, single leg squats. Ok back to my Coors Light and Office DVD.
